"Aromas of ripe fresh blackberry and some plum follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a chewy finish. With air, this turns to a big and rich wine, with masses of fruit and mouthpuckering tannins, but it finishes with sweet fruit and flowers. Amazing layers of fruit and tannins to this wine. Even better than I remember. [1998 Piedmont blind retrospective, 2008]." WineSpectator.com, 2008 |
